who else is fucking OVER hearing journey all the time? i am so so so so SO over it. i cannot even begin to describe how over it i am. but i am about to. because it’s my blog and, more importantly, my dumping ground for rants.
flashback to 2006: karaoke sessions in my living room. favourites include mariah carey, biggie, puff daddy and mase, and boston (more than a feeling, duh). and motley crue. i LOOOVED motley crue. the hair metal love isn’t exactly well received by everyone. you know what is? cheesy stadium rock. lo and behold, “don’t stop believing” is rediscovered (for me, i do realize the song is older than i am) and yeah, i fucking loved it. i’m not going to lie. kansas, journey, boston, extreme…i love it ALL.
flash forward to every FUCKING day: “hey, i’m a musician, and my music is kinda eh and people are getting kinda bored at my concert so i’m gonna play JOURNEY because everyone loves that song and they know all the words even though they don’t know the words to any of my songs!”
“hey i’m a marketer and i need to make people pay attention to this new crappy show i’m trying to promote so i’m going to pay for the rights for JOURNEY so everyone will sing along and pay attention!”
“hey we’re JOURNEY and we fucking looooove money, and who can blame us really, but we kinda feel stupid for creating this monster that the world is singing along to drunkenly that is basically about all the people who move to the city and overpopulate it with their far-fetched dreams! and then they just end up at the bars we’re singing about dreaming of the day they can make as much money as us!”
flashback to LAST NIGHT: i am trying to SLEEP and the stupid bars are blasting that repetitive black eyed peas song (i know, that doesn’t narrow it down. it’s the one about tonight being a good night, and fergie says mazel tov at some point). i hate this song so much. i hate it even more since my grade 4s had to do gymnastics routines and more than HALF THE CLASS chose that song so i had to listen to it over and over and over while they practised for 3 weeks before presenting. and then again for the presentation. but i digress.
so they’re playing that godawful song, and they follow it with….”just a small town girl…” blah blah blah everyone knows all the words. the thing is, it’s not an awful song. i like it. but glee is an awful show. i’m sick of glee. and i hate that they made this song so accessible. and now all the asshole jocks on ossington sing along obnoxiously and i get to listen to them through kurt’s bedroom window EVERY WEEKEND (seriously).
i cannot WAIT for this song’s popularity to be over and for everyone to just eat up the next crappy lady gaga song.
/end rant.
